Description
High Score is an ingenious dice game with unique challenges. Turning over a new challenge card tells players how to score points this round and how you can re-roll your dice. Will even numbers score 0 points this round? What effect will the vortex have this round?
After the first player finishes their turn, the other players can attempt to beat their score, but risk too much and you may come away empty-handed. Whoever has the most points after seven rounds wins.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card-driven roll parameters — Each challenge card dictates how many dice you may roll, how many rerolls you get, and how scoring is calculated for that round.
- Roll-and-bank dice — Players roll a subset of dice and bank some results, then re-roll the rest up to the number of allowed rolls on the current card.
- Round-based scoring and board placement — After each round, players tally scores and advance a marker around a small board; seven rounds determine the winner.
- Set collection / three-of-a-kind scoring — Scores are built from groups (e.g., three of a kind or combinations that total a target like 10) with minus the remaining dice scored.
- Vortex dice — Dice feature a vortex symbol replacing a six; vortices can have values or act as wilds depending on the card.
